even in rough times...

Postby teach » September 22nd, 2008, 12:03 pm

I have found that praising God when you really don't feel like it really really really does make you feel alot better.


I have been having a rough couple of weeks emotionally and one night while I was on the phone with my mom, she told me to just give God praises.

So, when I start feeling depressed, I just start thanking God for allowing me to go though whatever it is I am going through because I know it is happening because He knows what is best for me and I will be a better person when it is all said and done with.

So, if you're feeling down, just give Him praises!!! It's been working for me!

Good thoughts, Wendy.

Enjoyed that teach very good post. It is so true, praising God makes our problems seem as nothing as we glorify him.

May the Lord bless you.

"Put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness..." and it's a good song, too! Thanks for the reminder, wendy. :)

Wendy I think this is something that many people face and you have the perfect response.

We are SO blessed (with such rich Godly people to lean on).. yet we let the enemy tell us that if just one more thing would happen, some person act right or if I just had one more thing.. then I would be happy or full filled. Then when we achieve, get blessed or reach that goal/issue.. we're presented with yet another obstacle or circumstance.

When actually we just have to be content today and praise him exactly where we are at today. Be effective for Christ where we are at Today.

Thanks for sharing.
